Releasing a new book is like giving birth. The unbridled joy in making and nurturing it quickly turns to sleepless nights and non-stop bottle feeding. By bottles, I mean wine, of course. And by feeding, I mean guzzling. For me anyway. But I digress.

The book is out and I can finally sigh with relief. Now, it’s in your hands. Or in most cases, in your reading device. If you feel tremor while holding it, it’s because there’s so much frolicking goodness inside it, it might burst out. I hope it doesn’t stain.

I know I mentioned this before, but this book is a departure from the Robinson Crusoe series, so I’m curious, nervous, and excited to see how my readers respond to it. I’d always wanted to write a fantasy-adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones, where an old pulp style hero sets out to do the impossible and madness ensues. Fear not! A lot of the qualities that drew fans to my earlier work are present here: action and adventure, a thrilling pace, heartfelt characters, and imaginative worldbuilding. At least I hope they’re all in there. Ultimately, you will decide.

Anyway, I thank you for your time and truly hope you enjoy reading this one as much as I did writing it. If you do, please consider recommending it to someone else or leaving a review. And if you love it, shoot me a note/tweet/flash of morse code and let me know. After all, man cannot live on wine alone.

Now, onto Atlantis, and adventure!
